Chameleon

Composer Herbie Hancock Arranger Mats Holmquist Category Big Band Level Advanced Style Minimalist Fusion - Swing Ranges Trumpet: F6; Trombone: Bb4 Duration 11:39 Description As recorded by the Dick Oatts/Mats Holmquist New York Jazz Orchestra (members of the legendary Vanguard Orchestra) on the album "Tribute to Herbie +1". Built on Herbie Hancock's fusion classic Chameleon; Holmquist re-composed it and put it in a minimalist setting a' la Steve Reich. Holmquist changed both chords and melody and put it to a large extent in 5/4 with solos for tenors and guitar. Fun, challenging, interesting and exciting! ”Mats Holmquist is one of the jazz world’s finest composers and arrangers.” Ric Bang - JazzScan Watch the video-score of this chart here Instrumentation Standard Big Band (5/5/4/4)
